The Blues went to stumps on day three at Karen Rolton Oval at 4 for 235, holding a lead of 252 after three batsmen made half-centuries.
The day was highlighted by Nikitaras, with the 21-year-old making 56 to go with the 44 he posted in his first innings, looking brilliant throughout and belting two huge sixes.
And Gilkes was also in fine form, making his fifth first-class fifty before he fell when McSweeney trapped him lbw for 54. Lachie Hearne could yet be a fourth Blue to raise the bat, 31 not out at stumps. McSweeney (2-71)Â was the pick of the SA bowlers.
South Australia declared 17 runs behind NSW at 9 for 277 late in Friday’s morning session after NSW dismissed captain Henry Hunt (109) and Harry Nielsen (63) early with tail-ender Liam Scott whacking 30. Chris Tremain (3-51) and Trent Copeland (3-58) were NSW’s best bowlers.
